The film, written by Nora Garrett, is an engrossing look at the privileged academic environment of Yale University through the prism of generational differences, institutional politics, and buried personal traumas. Alma Imhoff, played by Julia Roberts, is an esteemed ethics professor who is almost ready to get tenure. Professor Henrik "Hank" Gibson (Andrew Garfield) is Alma's close colleague and friend, but everything changes when her protégé, Margaret "Maggie" Resnick (Ayo Edebiri), accuses him of serious misbehaviour.
Alma faces institutional pressure and moral quandaries as the accusation develops. Her carefully built life and career are in jeopardy as she struggles to keep a dark and complicated secret from her own past, one that involves a false accusation and its lasting effects. Notable actors Chloë Sevigny and Michael Stuhlbarg, who play Dr Kim Sayers and Frederik Mendelssohn, respectively, play supporting roles in the film.
On August 29, 2025, After the Hunt had its world premiere outside of the competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, marking the beginning of its festival circuit. The 63rd New York Film Festival kicked off with it.
Truth, trust, academic power relations, and the intricacies of the modern '#MeToo' debate are some of the topics explored in the film, which has sparked a lot of conversation. Many film critics praised the picture for its boldness in tackling difficult moral questions, while others criticised it for being too safe. Although critics were divided on the film's structure and issues, many praised the key actors' nuanced portrayals of conflicted intellectual figures, especially Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts.
The film had an initial limited theatre run that began on October 10, 2025, and expanded on October 17 in the US. Indian fans now have direct access to one of the year's most talked-about psychological dramas as it releases on Prime Video on November 20 (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch the film with a top-up).
